Join us for a conversation with acclaimed journalist Amira Hass, titled "Palestinian Life under Settler Colonialism and Military Occupation."
Only members of The New School community are able to attend this event.
Amira Hass is the Haaretz correspondent for the Occupied Territories. She is the author of Drinking the Sea At Gaza: Days and Nights in a Land Under Siege (Picador Book, 2000).
Presented by Race & Mobility: Empire, Settler Colonialism, and Unfinished Decolonization Research Cluster and the Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility at The New School for Social Research.
Amira Hass is the Haaretz correspondent for the Occupied Territories.
Born in Jerusalem in 1956, Hass joined Haaretz in 1989, and has been in her current position since 1993. As the correspondent for the territories, she spent three years living in Gaza, which served of the basis for her widely acclaimed book, "Drinking the Sea at Gaza." She has lived in the West Bank city of Ramallah since 1997.
Hass is also the author of two other books, both of which are compilations of her articles.
This research cluster interrogates the historic-sociological foundations of settler colonialism as a theoretical framing that explain how certain societies racialize access to land possession and to labor exploitation through differential regimes of law. We aim to question the settler colonialism tenet of “destroy to replace” by comparing it with historical processes like franchise colonialism, internal colonialism, and frontier imperialism.
We explore the link between settlerism's drive to reproduce and impose metropolitan societies abroad and how settler societies developed both racial bans on immigration and citizenship, reinforcing homogeneous ethnic conceptions of the nation, and miscegenation mechanisms, for post-colonial racial management. To that end, we look at the different processes of forced assimilation, elimination, and spatial sequestration, towards native, migrants, and settlers and how they compare to post-imperial migration regimes, relocation and mass population transfers.
We analyze the relationship between decolonization processes and democratic emancipation by historically examining how settler societies transitioned into full citizenship for their members while retaining unequal legal regimes based on race to avoid expulsion and national homogeneity.
